Freeway merge lights

What’s the deal with these freeway entrance merging lights? Specifically the southbound I-25 freeway entrance off Meadows Pkwy? Every day it feels like there is a back up from someone waiting 20+ secs waiting for the light to change green. I understand the idea behind these but cmon people just give a few seconds and then go we don’t need to over complicate the system. As long as there is a car width between merging onto the freeway should be easy as pie. What also gets me is the double merge lanes where the sign says “one car per light” and both cars go 99.7% of the time. Coming from AZ at least the lights would alternate to distinguish which lane should go. Whoever’s idea that was should be punished… I’m sure it can’t be that difficult to adjust that because as the system is today and throughout Denver from what I’ve seen it’s horrible and borderline useless.
